Without forgiveness there can be no future. Forgiveness is not a nebulous spiritual thing. It is practical politics. Bygones can never be bygones if dealt with lightly. They will never be bygones, for they will return to haunt us.
The land must be healed and then, when the past has been dealt with adequately, let it be put firmly behind us and let all get on with the business of building a prosperous motherland for all, where freedom and justice and goodness and laughter and joy and compassion will rule supreme.
